“The Falls Church Fellows Program has truly changed and transformed the trajectory of my life. It has taught me how to prioritize the Lord first in all things and shown me that He is both sovereign and sufficient regardless of the circumstances. On top of all of that, it also gave me friendships and memories that will last me a lifetime. I am forever grateful for my time with the Falls Church Fellows!”

“Fellows was a life-changing, exciting opportunity to launch my post-graduate faith, career, and overall life. I experienced deep personal and professional growth through the seminary courses, leadership classes, deep community of friends and my dream internship in the United States Senate.”
Caroline Broom ‘21
“In the creative process there is a moment when you’ve gathered all your materials, you’ve tried different designs, and yet the vision for the piece is still unclear. And then something shifts. That was Fellows for me. A bunch of random plans, passions, and gifts laid before me and the process of God giving me hope and plans for the future.
The fellows program was the beginning of random threads in my life becoming something that could resemble a tapestry. Faithful and loving community, teaching, and mentorship showed me the deep faithfulness of God and the goodness of his plans for us.
